Happy New Year

Dearest friends, we would like to ask you to consider partnering with Voice of the Bride, for 2026. 

What are we asking you to partner in? Come January, we are a 30 year old mission organization, which was founded on the principles of;

1. Serving the poor and needy, here in our nation, as well as around the world. 

2. Serving the Lord in worship and intercession, seeing the atmosphere changed for His glory and Kingdom, and partnering with GOD in whatever is on His heart for our nation, and for the world. 

3. Serving whoever the Lord puts right in front of us, be it thru counseling, mentoring, teaching, encouragement, or sharing the Gospel!

So do any (or ALL), of those things light the fire in your heart?  We can’t all go, but we can ALL serve the Lord, as we partner together  to help push the Gospel, and His Kingdom forward!!!  

In the last few years, we have helped walk my dad into Heaven, helped care for several friends and family members, including both our moms, and felt the Lord lead us to move to North Carolina in 2024. For the first time in our married life, (33 years on Jan 3), we have found a home we can finally call our own. ‘Trinity Acres’ has become solid ground from which we can ‘jump off’ and come and go, without being at the whim of landlords, and the rising cost of living in Southern California.  We can be more effective with the Mexico support. We can sow into Carol’s worship well more effectively, with her background as both a Moravian and a Quaker, both powerhouse historical believers, who settled in this area of NC. We can more easily travel, and better afford overseas travel. 

As a supporter, you will be partnering with us to continue supporting established work in Tijuana, Mexico to the poor and needy, and helping break the cycle of poverty thru providing for education and scholarships for young people.You will be assisting in bringing the message of hope in the Lord, thru relational healing  and counseling, online, nationally and internationally (India again in February), thru Wayne’s ongoing counseling ministry (this is a big deal, folks). You will be helping Carol pull the plow of dynamic and prophetic worship, and deep intercession for Native America, the many US states of our country, Israel, and nations around the world, thru onsite worship wherever GOD opens the door, as well as online, to a global audience. And the simple love and care in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and the hope we find in Him, to whoever comes across our path, every single day. 

We are connecting to you and asking, because we have seen a nearly 30% drop in our budget in the last 18 months!! Would you consider partnering with VOB, so that we might be able to continue serving the Lord full time, as He called us to do, soon after we got married.  We have given our lives to this work, and we honestly cannot do it without your prayer, and yes, your finances. Here is what we are asking:

1. Would you consider monthly giving next year. ANY amount will help (and is tax deductible).

2. Would you consider a one time gift, to help us get our budget back on track. 

3. If you are a monthly partner are you able to increase your gift, if by just a little bit, it is appreciated.

We know you receive appeals for funding all the time. We certainly do as well.  But since you are a part of our lives, and we are relationally connected, we hope, knowing us as you do, you will truly think of supporting Voice of the Bride, as part of your own ministry and calling in the Lord. 

Thank you and may your New Year be blessed, Much love, Wayne & Carol

p.s. Did you know that the baby in the manger, the man on the cross, came here just for you?  Yep, He sure did. After all the hustle and bustle of this Christmas and New Year season, take a moment to think about that. Soak that in. He cares about YOU! ❤️

Upcoming  🙏 Ministry trips:

Wayne will be joining the Living Waters training team twice next month. He will driving up to Quarryville, PA February 7-13.  And then again traveling to Goa India February 27 – March 14   Please be praying for finances, travel mercies, and safety for Wayne as he travels. And also for all to go well at home in Wayne’s absence with all of our family.

VOB News June 2025 “South Carolina report”

voiceofthebride Newsletters , , , ,

May was a beautiful month for worship on the VOB calendar. I (Carol) have started leading an hour of worship every Monday night from 8-9pm, on the Global Tabernacle of David website.  It’s been a truly amazing time, altho obviously very different than leading in a room full of people.  Nevertheless, we do so, knowing that the Lord is being honored and, as we partner with Him thru worship and prayer, things are getting done in the Heavenly realm. 

Last month I had the great privilege to attend the GtoD worship week, a gathering of worship leaders and intercessors from around the world. What a blessing to spend quality time with both seasoned, as well as newly minted worship leaders!  Our group worship sessions were very powerful and, once again, many things were accomplished in the Kingdom of GOD.  One of my favorite things, was to be able to teach on worship leading dynamics. I absolutely love teaching others these days!  I appreciate all that the Lord has taught me, and I am oh-so grateful to be able to pass that on and share with others. This is truly a joy.  I also appreciate the kind words of encouragement many gave to me, as Wayne and I start to move toward more ministry opportunities, after having settled in here in NC, a bit more. We have not stopped the Mexico work or our Native America mission, and will not!

Update:

Wayne just returned from a wonderful Living Waters training, where he and team had the privilege to lead in Incredible India (as our dear friend Kathleen calls the nation). He will share next month once he gets back in our time zone mentally and physically. Thank you for all your prayers of safety. He felt them!  Please join us in praying for the families of the many lives lost in the recent plane crash in India. Wayne’s return travel was the very same day. A sobering thought heavy on our hearts. 

A Blessing :

We would like to encourage you with the following:  You may never know what your efforts for the Lord have gained, here on earth. But be assured, one day, in Heaven, as a follower of Jesus, you will know and rejoice. Keep up the good work, brothers and sisters. “Do not grow weary in well doing, for in due time, you shall reap a reward.” Galatians 6:9

Prayer Requests:

  • We have had a significant drop in our monthly support. Please consider a one-time gift or ongoing monthly support. 
  • Continued prayer for worship doors to open, ongoing Mexico work, continued opportunities with Living Waters, and more opportunities to minister in our new community. 
  • For Carol’s mom, as she comes to stay with us for another extended visit. She is 93! 

We love and appreciate you, Wayne & Carol
